Marquette Post Game Thread

[Mister P]

Went to the clock killing offensive slow down with 3:55 remaining which didn’t go well. The team seems to struggle doing this. I wish they would keep running the offensive sets and look for the open/best shot instead.

The last 6 minutes of that game were a really long way of saying “UConn wins”

The refs absolutely and needlessly killed our momentum with that absolute GARBAGE tech on Spencer. Utter trash.

Refs let defenders get away with a ton of contact against Clingan due to his size. Whenever he's facing up to the basket and going into a shot attempt defenders hack the hell out of his arms and get away with body contact too.

Another ghost buried.

Road win against ranked team.

35 minutes of mostly solid ball and then a brutal last 4 minutes. Tristen was just letting Marquette double team and trap him. Needs to be fixed.

Alex picks the perfect game to find his stroke.

Cam was lights out. Welcome back to the 50/40/90 club.

Diarra was real good but missed a few at the rim.

I liked Stewie's aggression shooting and his block was a "highlight. He has jumps. Two O rebounds in one possession on first half.

Might be fewest fouls on a game all season for DC.

I don't mind when Ighodaro dribbles and hits defender on the chest with his shoulder, but he gets away with a bunch using his arm to push off and clear space.

I want Stewie near the rim more when he gets run. His shot is obviously off right now. As I always say, Hurley will never punish you for attacking the rim.

Yeah. We really need to knock that off.

Doesn't make sense to me why they do it instead of just running their normal offense, the offense already chews up alot of clock as it is.

Clutch castle free throws and defense on the last possession for those of us who had -5.5

 

[HooperScooper]

Top 10 win on the road, I love newton but damn he was bad with that trap

He needs to get rid of the ball rather than hold the ball and hope for the foul, which is what he was doing. Spencer and Karaban are both excellent free throw shooters, and Castle has been really good lately too, so Newton can pass to them. I'm sure the coaches will talk to him about that.

 

[xclamations]

Killa Cam strikes again!
top 10 road win check;
Karaban's shot is back hopefully;
Stewie block(!);
Hoping Steph has a nice game at pc to wrap up the record... let's. Go.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Yeah. We really need to knock that off.

On the one hand, we havent lost with it yet, but I can't keep changing my underwear right before bed anymore.

Someone find a replay of what Cam said. I’m fine w the T. But I’m not fine w how they responded.

Does DC have to sell it more? Does he have to get in the refs faces? What does he have to do to have the refs call an honest game down there?

 

[Palatine]

27 wins.

First road win against a ranked team in 10 years! Marquette punched us back hard once in the 1st half and twice in the 2nd half. We responded very well the first 2 times, which led to us being able to survive the the 3rd. A W is a W!

My favorite parts -

• Great game from Karaban. On fire from 3, and great work on his cuts and drives too
• Cam was furious when he picked up his 2nd foul, I knew he was going to make up for it in the second half. Finished with 17/8/6 and 5 threes. No comment on the technical
• JAYLIN STEWART TWO BIG BOY OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS AND A NASTY BLOCK!
• Solid scoring game for Oso but Clingan had a great game defensively anyway. Marquette's guards were terrified of the paint while Clingan racked up 9pts/12reb/4blk
• Really rough game offensively for Castle, but the true freshman stepped up to the line and iced it with 8 seconds left
• Team defense was great. Marquette shot a good % from three but it felt like most looks were heavily contested. Great switching and fighting around screens

UConn has positioned themselves VERY well to clinch that East Region 1 seed. Let's go!!

 

[Jmark212]

We had 4 points the last 8 minutes of the game. The stall strategy does nothing but let teams back in the game.

 

[uconngb]

Clingan is going to have bruises all over his body tomorrow.

And apparently not one was the result of a foul somehow

 

[JRDBWK]

My favorite part was watching Spencer, when the clock hit zero, look immediately at the student section and then point at the exit for them

 

[YearoftheHusky]

We came close to throwing it away, starting with the T. Spencer needs to dial it down a bit.

We said the same with AJax last year.

 

[RichCTBB]

Cam’s T changed the momentum dangerously. I think TNew was expecting a foul call because they were fouling him in those traps.

 

[HooperScooper]

This win signifies the end of “never win a road game against ranked teams” blues.

Glad I won't have to hear that again during the telecasts.

 

[uconnever]

Yeah DC was getting fouled all game and had me yelling at the TV

Thank you!!!! I didnt mention it in my previous post because i didnt want to get flamed for whining about the refs but it was ridiculous!!! He got fouled at least 3 times that were clear as day!!! I was yelling at my tv "thats a foul!!! thats a F%@%% foul!!!!"

 

[RipCity]

Stewart’s shot wasn’t falling, but I liked his energy. I’ll take a second unit of Stewart and Karaban at the 4/5 over a lineup with Samson Johnson any day. Samson was fun in November, but he is lost out there now.

 

[superjohn]

Yeah. We really need to knock that off.

Cam and AK missed wide open threes that would've iced it but we did go into slow down prevent mode and Tristen seemed to be welcoming the trap. I feel like we get into analytics in these situations and it does work out with the win but it seems to be tempting fate. We don't score when we do it. I was just waiting for the ref to call Tristen for the second consecutive bump of Stevie Mitchell right in front of him.

 

[uconngb]

We also busted the “never winning close games” label this year as well.

That’s only because we turned a 14 point lead w under 8 to go into a nail biter. Those aren’t the kind of “close wins” we need

It should be clinched. I mean at worst we lose to Prov and lose our first game in the BET and we should absolutely still be the one seed in the East. There is no concievable reason why anyone else should be.
